R D Brown Landscaping - Cuba's Licensed Landscapers

The most effective long-term solution often involves a combination of approaches. We start by diagnosing the cause—whether it's poor soil drainage, improper grading, or a high water table. Common fixes we provide include regrading the lawn to direct water away from your home, installing subsurface French drains to channel water underground, and using specialized permeable materials in hardscaping projects to reduce runoff. Every property in our area is different, so we tailor the solution to your specific yard.

Absolutely. Compacted soil, a frequent issue here, prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots, leading to thin, weak turf and poor plant health. It also worsens drainage problems. Our core aeration service physically removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, allowing your lawn to breathe and absorb moisture properly. For severe cases or in preparation for new landscaping, we offer deep tilling and soil amendment with organic matter to create a healthier foundation for your plants to thrive.

Strategic masonry is a powerful tool for managing water. We design and install retaining walls to hold back soil on slopes, preventing erosion and controlling water flow. For patios and walkways, we use permeable base materials and proper sloping (called 'pitch') to ensure surface water drains efficiently away from your home and into designated areas, rather than pooling. A well-built masonry feature not only adds beauty and value but also serves as a permanent part of your property's drainage solution.
